[I wrote this over two years from 2006-08] My first novel is a fable inspired by The Maltese Falcon and Crime & Punishment. The year is 1930. The depression hit Jonathan Pascal like a sledgehammer, taking his money and his family. Desperately groping for an exit, Pascal kills himself. He is resurrected and faced with a terrible bargain: if he kills seven people, he and his brother will be resurrected. But will this trade cost him everything that made him human to begin with?

This novel chronicles the journey of a man, Adam Hamilton, who lives a carefree life, following the winds of change, and using his intelligence and cynicism to sidestep a "normal" life. The vagabond then wakes up one morning to find that all of his wanderings have been fabrications of his concussed mind. He has slept through his youth, and awakens in a world with no place for him. This book poses questions about the nature of reality and relationships and attempts to appraise life on the open road.

Of all my endeavors, I am most proud of my poetry. I like to think that my use of first-person and liberal allusions creates a poem that is at once personal and cosmopolitan--autobiographical and epic. I hope you agree.
